According to ESPN's well-known reporter Leo Paradizo, Manchester United is seeking to buy Aston Villa goalkeeper and Argentina international Martinez for £20 million, and Onana will leave Manchester United.

Cameroon's goalkeeper made frequent mistakes, Manchester United could not bear it anymore

Last season, Martinez played 53 times for Aston Villa, completing 16 clean sheets, helping the team to reach the Champions League quarter-finals and 6th in the Premier League. Just when Aston Villa relied on Martinez's outstanding performance to create excellent results, Manchester United fell from the clouds due to the continuous mistakes of goalkeeper Onana.

According to data from foreign media GiveMeSport, Onana has made 15 major mistakes in the past two seasons, while De Gea has only 17 turnovers in his entire Manchester United career (12 seasons). Manchester United decided to change the goal again when they were almost unbearable. What did Manchester United think of the "trouble" bought by

50 million?

At the beginning, when he spent 50 million euros to introduce Onana, Manchester United hoped that the Cameroon goalkeeper could build a transmission and control network with his outstanding footwork technology. Unexpectedly, this goalkeeper who was once eased to press against Manchester City in the Champions League final was not only busy facing the press, but also directly assisted the opponent many times. To be on the safe side, Onana can only frequently make a big fuss when facing pressing, and her contribution to the transmission and control system is better than nothing.

This season, De Gea's save success rate in Fiorentina reached 83%, becoming the goalkeeper with the highest save success rate in the five major leagues. In addition to continuing his style of being a man, De Gea's skills are not that bad. The "Road 1" between him and Lukaku once made many Premier League teams unable to do anything.

Remember the mistake and make sure the lower limit is

2024/25 season. Just as Manchester United's record continued to decline, Ratcliff criticized the signings of the Tenhach era in the face of the interview. Since then, Onana's fate has been doomed. When the team's record fell to the bottom, Amorin could only consider reality and temporarily put his ideals on his shoulder. A goalkeeper who can ensure the team's lower limit is particularly important. Damian Martinez is such a player.
